Hi Matt,
That’s not how it would be done. There is an EPP status serverHold (or, if issued by the registrar, clientHold), which removes a domain from DNS. This is used after arbitration or court decisions and for cases of abuse.
I doubt however that Verisign would suspend Parler’s domain.

Is there a remote possibility here that Verisign might say "yeah, we're gonna glue this domain down to 0.0.0.0 and not allow registration"? Is there any precedent for this? Would seem like a game of whack-a-mole that anyone would want to
avoid.
Really that would seem like the only way to ratchet up the "internet death penalty" even further at this point, barring any major ISPs coming out and saying they'll block it from transiting their networks. Again, more whack-a-mole, and
arguably a more serious precedent to set as Verisign isn't the only TLD registrar.
